| After Irma, Barbuda's 300-year-old civilization 'extinguished' Posted: 15 Sep 2017 08:57 AM PDT  Ambassador Ronald Sanders, the island nation of Antigua and Barbuda's ambassador to the United States, delivered a chilling report on the status of his country in the wake of Hurricane Irma. "The damage is complete," Sanders told PRI's The Takeaway. "For the first time in 300 years, there's not a single living person on the island of Barbuda — a civilization that has existed on that island for over 300 years has now been extinguished." SEE ALSO: Jaw-dropping satellite images show historic Hurricane Irma swallowing Caribbean islands Hurricane Irma hit Barbuda on September 6 as a category 5 tropical cyclone.

"The island and the people on the island had absolutely no chance." Residents evacuated to neighboring Antigua where they are being housed in shelters. The only living creatures on the island are now pets and livestock. The organization World Animal Protection is attempting to feed and rescue the animals. Barbuda 'barely habitable' after Hurricane Irma: https://t.co/YoxBnK6sh7 via @YouTube — Al Jazeera Videos (@AJEVideos) September 7, 2017 Sanders told PRI he estimates that reconstruction could cost $300 million, and will take time. That's because rebuilding Barbuda won't be a simple matter of replacing what was once there. Instead, Barbuda must be reconstituted for a world in which another Irma might be possible. Hurricane Irma struck Barbuda as a ferociously intense Category 5 storm, with maximum sustained winds of 185 miles per hour. The ambassador called upon the international community to provide aid, because Barbuda simply does not have the resources to rebuild. The GDP of Barbuda is $1.4 billion, compared to the United States' $18.57 trillion. "We have declared a state of emergency in Barbuda because it is a complete disaster and uninhabitable," he says. "We cannot cope with our own resources alone."

By raising sea levels and increasing ocean and air temperatures, global warming can increase the damage wrought by hurricanes. Irma, for example, was the most powerful storm on record to strike the northern Leeward Islands, and the most powerful ever observed in the Atlantic outside of the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico. Because developed nations disproportionately contribute to global warming through their emissions of greenhouse gases, Sanders indicated that aid is an economic imperative. SEE ALSO: How Hurricane Irma became a monstrous, record-shattering storm, and stayed that way "We believe climate change is here to stay — it's a reality, despite all of the naysayers," he says. "We know that these things have occurred as a result of the profligacy of the countries that are rich, and have abused the system. We, unfortunately, who contribute less than naught point naught percent of pollution of the world's atmosphere, are the world's greatest victims."

| The history behind that fake photo of a shark swimming on a highway Posted: 14 Sep 2017 08:31 AM PDT  The internet has always been filled with hoaxes, fakes, liars, and cheats, long before the term "fake news" became a household phrase. But no matter how many times a fake image of a shark swimming on a flooded highway shows up, the internet continues to fall for it. Hurricanes Harvey and Irma had major impacts on the U.S. in the last few weeks, which means social media was ripe with incredible stories, videos, and pictures of the storms and their aftermaths. Among the real stories, there were of course fakes. On Aug. 27, Twitter user Jason Michael shared an infamous photo of a shark swimming on a flooded highway. "Believe it or not, this is a shark on the freeway in Houston, Texas," he wrote. SEE ALSO: 'Pilot' says he Photoshops his selfies, and yet somehow people still think they're real Believe it or not, this is a shark on the freeway in Houston, Texas. #HurricaneHarvy pic.twitter.com/ANkEiEQ3Y6 — Jason Michael (@Jeggit) August 28, 2017 Turns out the Dublin-based journalist was apparently just trying to make a point. The tweet received over 88,000 retweets, and Michael later responded that he was concerned how easy it was to fool so many people with fake news. When America is this easy to troll with #FakeNews we should all be worried. https://t.co/3Iqp9UGql9 — Jason Michael (@Jeggit) August 28, 2017 As Hurricane Irene was battering Florida on Sunday, the same image was shared by Twitter user @mopage19. He claimed the photo was taken on I-75 outside of Naples. A shark photographed on I-75 just outside of Naples, FL This is insane. #HurricaneIrma pic.twitter.com/cRBDsRJQsF — Maury Page (@mopage19) September 10, 2017 "This is insane," he wrote. Later, someone asked if he knew where the photo actually originated. Mopage19 made it clear that he was just trolling. Photo shop — Maury Page (@mopage19) September 10, 2017 The shark in this photograph is indeed real, but the shark swimming through a flooded highway is fake. The shark was initially captured by renowned National Geographic photographer Thomas P. Peschak off the coast of South Africa over 10 years ago. On his website, Peschak explains that he was working with the White Shark Trust for more than 10 months to capture images of white sharks in South Africa that would help depict the current scientific research. Great white shark following a scientist in a kayak off South Africa's coast. This photograph is on the cover of my latest book 'Sharks and People' published by University of Chicago Press. #sharks, #greatwhite, #kayak, #kayaking, #southafrica, #whitesharktrust A post shared by Thomas Peschak (@thomaspeschak) on Dec 29, 2013 at 6:20am PST The image of the shark stalking a small kayak went viral when Peschak first published it on his website. He claims the photo attracted "more than 100,000 visitors" in 24 hours. Given the stunning nature of the image, the photographer says that it garnered its fair share of skeptics claiming the image was altered in some manner. The original image even has its own debunking on Snopes. Peschak maintains the image was not altered in any way, in fact, he told AOL Travel in 2014 that the photo was captured "on slide film Fuji Provia 100 using a Nikon F5 Camera and 17-35 mm lens." On his site, he writes, "all magazines and prints were taken from a high-resolution scan of the slide with no post-production work." This means the original photo never even touched Photoshop, until someone decided to take that shark and put it on a flooded highway. It appears as if the first hoax surrounding the image occurred in April 2006, when the French magazine Le Magazine des Voyages de Peche published a joke article about a fisherman in Australia that accidentally caught a shark in one of its nets. After freeing the shark, affectionately named Cindy, it followed the fisherman around years, scaring away his catch in the process. Two years later, someone turned the April Fools' Day joke into a YouTube slideshow, racking up over 1.6 million views. Here's a another clip with over a half million views that was uploaded in 2013, pushing a similar narrative. We were unable to track down the original YouTube upload. The shark gets moving The first known record of the viral image of the shark on a flooded highway that we know today occurred in 2011 when Hurricane Irene hit Puerto Rico, causing flooding across the island. The image of the shark on the highway was picked up by WSVN 7 News out of Miami and credited to a man named Ramon Garganta. The image was quickly debunked, and the sharks origin was even linked to Peschak's shark, but it didn't matter. The damage was done, people fell for the shark swimming on a highway, and have been falling for it ever since. The shark showed up again in 2012, this time it was swimming next to another shark at the bottom of an escalator at the Scientific Center or a mall in Kuwait. The hoaxers claimed that a shark tank collapsed, but it didn't. The photo of the escalators in actually from Union subway station in Toronto, which flooded in June of 2012. Essentially, it was originally a meme that was repurposed by someone into a hoax. Shark tank collapse in a shopping mall in Kuwait . Great photo !! pic.twitter.com/kY5rxwit — Niall Boylan Show (@niallboylan4fm) July 7, 2012 The photo of the shark on the highway surfaced again when Hurricane Sandy wreacked havoc on the northeast. Mashable debunked it back then, along with a slew of other fake photographs. While this hoax and others like it will not be going away anytime soon, there is some hope following the photo's most recent appearances. The media widely debunked the story of the shark on the highway quickly after it went viral on social media, and it was pointed out by many that it was fake. In the age of fake news, always be a little skeptical of things you see, even if there is photographical evidence. And when in doubt, use Google image search. Peschak did not respond to Mashable's request for an interview. He admits on his site that he had no idea when he started documenting sharks that this image would be his "most well-known image to date." "I always look forward to receiving e-mails from friends and family who have spotted the same white shark in a different context," Peschak writes. "While I will probably never become a legend in my own right, at least my white shark is well on her way." WATCH: How to respond when your coworker asks you, "How was your weekend?"

| North Korean passenger flight takes off 90 minutes after missile launch Posted: 14 Sep 2017 07:14 PM PDT  A North Korean passenger flight took off from Pyongyang's international airport about an hour and a half after an intermediate-range ballistic missile was launched from the area. Air Koryo flight 151 departed the airport for Beijing as scheduled at 8.30am local time. About 90 minutes prior to take-off, a missile flew over Japan after being launched from Sunan, the site of the airport. The timing would mean passengers would have been at the airport to witness the launch of the missile. "When passengers are flying back to Beijing departing at 8:30 am, we arrange our group to arrive at 7:00 am to check in, go through customs and immigration…(as) the flights can get fairly busy," Rowan Beard, a tour manager at Young Pioneer Tours, told NK News. Air Koryo flight from missile launch site @ Pyongyang Sunan Airport is going to arrive at Beijing in about one hour from now pic.twitter.com/KtyAYiOjSx— Chad O'Carroll (@chadocl) September 15, 2017 The flight landed in Beijing at 9.50am, 10 minutes ahead of schedule, according to FlightRadar24. South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff said the missile travelled about 3,700 kilometers (2,300 miles) and reached a maximum height of 770 kilometers (478 miles). It followed a similar launch on August 29 of a relatively untested intermediate-range Hwasong-12 from the runway of the airport. It did not issue a "Notice to Airmen" (NOTAM) prior to that test, nor before the latest launch, raising fears for aircraft flying along the east of the Korean peninsula or near Japan. This is an incredible photo pic.twitter.com/qExSipD2zS— Ben Harris-Roxas (@ben_hr) August 30, 2017 North Korea's missile launches have raised concerns for aircraft in the past. In July, a packed Air France jet en route to Tokyo flew past the location where North Korea's test intercontinental ballistic missile crashed into the Sea of Japan less than ten minutes later, according to a US official cited by ABC news. The airline said it was never in danger but as a precaution Air France-KLM have decided to reroute flights heading north from Japan.

| Who are the Rohingya Muslims? The stateless minority fleeing violence in Burma Posted: 15 Sep 2017 06:25 AM PDT  They have often been called the most persecuted minority in the world. The 1.1 million Rohingya Muslims squeezed precariously into the north-west state of Rakhine, in mainly Buddhist Burma, bordering majority Muslim Bangladesh, are stateless and unwanted. Neither country will give them citizenship even though their families' roots in modern-day Rakhine, once called Arakan, can be traced back to the Eighth Century. Displaced Rohingya refugees from Rakhine state in Myanmar carry their belongings as they flee violence, near Ukhia, near the border between Bangladesh and Myanmar on September 4 Credit: K.M. ASAD/AFP Since World War Two they have been treated increasingly by Burmese authorities as illegal, interloping Bengalis, facing apartheid-like conditions that deny them free movement or state education while government forces intermittently drive out and slaughter them. Displaced Rohingya refugees from Rakhine state in Myanmar rest near Ukhia, near the border between Bangladesh and Myanmar, as they flee violence on September 4, 2017 Credit: AFP Over the past year, military operations against Rohingya villages have been so intense and cruel that the minority's defenders have warned of an unfolding genocide. The United Nations has reported that the army may have committed ethnic cleansing. The inhumane treatment of the Rohingyas has tarnished the image of Myanmar's civilian leader and Nobel peace prize laureate Aung San Suu Kyi, once a famously unflinching defender of human rights and darling of the West. She now faces international fury, particularly from Muslim nations, for failing to stand up to armed forces chief General Min Aung Hlaing, whose soldiers are accused of rape, murder, arson, and of ripping Rohingya babies from their mothers' arms and throwing them into rivers and fire. Rohingya Muslim refugees along with Indian supporters hold placards against human rights violations in Myanmar during a protest in New Delhi on September 5, 2017 Credit: AFP Ms Suu Kyi has publicly stuck to the military's line that the Rohingya are illegally squatting on the Burmese territory, leaving fellow Nobel winner, Malala Yousafzai, aghast and urging her to speak out against the tragedy. The latest military crackdown, which began on August 25, caused almost 90,000 Rohingyas to flee under fire to squalid, overflowing relief camps across the Bangladeshi border in just two weeks. Officially close to 400 people had died by early September, but human rights activists claim to have confirmation of at least 1,000 deaths and believe the figure is much higher. The death toll will inevitably rise after Burma, also known as Myanmar, blocked UN agencies from delivering vital food, water and medicine supplies to 250,000 Rakhine residents desperately in need. Rohingya Muslims driven from Burma, in pictures Ongoing persecution of the Rohingya has inevitably led to an armed, if disorganised, resistance. The army "clearing operations" which sparked the mass exodus of civilians in both October 2016 and in August 2017, were launched after insurgents known as the Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army (ARSA) attacked several paramilitary checkposts. Rohingya activists claim the insurgents are mainly young men who have been pushed to breaking point by relentless oppression. A report released in early September by the Burma Human Rights Network documents the rise of systematic abuses against Burmese Muslims since 2012, including the creation of "Muslim-free zones", denial of ID cards, and the banning of Islamic holidays. The oppression has been mirrored by an upsurge of ultra-nationalist Buddhist groups who encourage an anti-Muslim rhetoric. Pope Francis calls for "full rights" for Rohingya Muslims 01:21 ARSA has so far been described as a rag-tag collection of small groups armed with knives, sticks and some basic IEDs, rather than a robust military force or mass mobilisation. But rising anger in the Muslim world about the plight of the Rohingya has compounded fears of homegrown militancy as well as support from international jihadists. Al Qaeda's offshoot in Yemen has already called for retaliatory attacks against Myanmar, while the Afghan Taliban called on Muslims to "use their abilities to help Burma's oppressed Muslims." Matthew Smith, director of Fortify Rights, a human rights group working with Rohingya refugees, said there was a danger of escalation. "There is certainly a risk that international extremist organisations will seek to be involved in northern Rakhine state," he said. "The best way to prevent this from escalating is to protect the rights of the civilian population. Myanmar is doing the exact opposite."
